Immigration: Windrush Generation

Catherine McKinnell: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what information his Department holds on the number of members of the Windrush generation who are (a) sleeping rough and (b) staying in temporary accommodation while waiting for a decision on their legal right to remain in the UK.

Caroline Nokes: Information about members of the Windrush generation who are sleeping rough or staying in temporary accommodation is not automatically reported to the Home Office.Where any member of the Windrush generation does not have the documents they need to show their status the Government continues to urge them to come forward to the Taskforce so that we can help them. If people are homeless the Home Office can work with Local Authorities to secure temporary accommodation.
